LED epitaxial wafer and chip maker Epistar has developed SWIR (short-wavelength infrared; wavelength exceeding 1,100nm) LED chips for use in non-invasive bio-sensing applications, such as measuring ...

LED epitaxial wafer and chip maker Epileds Technologies is investing NT$300 million (US$10.8 million) to expand production capacity for infrared (IR) LED chips used in sensing by 20%, with the ...

In the last few years, semiconductor circuit features have shrunk to sub-100 nanometer (nm) dimensions, while the size of the thin silicon wafers that these circuits are constructed on has grown from ...

The drive to increase both production efficiency and product efficiency of crystalline-silicon PV (photovoltaic) wafers and cells is leading manufacturers to explore a number of different inspection ...

An infrared imager developed by engineers could be used to see through smog and fog; easily locate blood vessels on a patient; and see through silicon wafers to inspect the quality of electronic ...

Cheaper, larger and better infrared detectors grown on silicon wafers could give more scientists access to infrared astronomy and further spur the hunt for exoplanets and the study of the universe’s ...

Organic based nano-contaminants are a serious defect commonly found in micro-electronics manufacturing processes, including data storage, semiconductor and LED. These kinds of organic contaminants are ...

“LED manufacturers typically don't make their own sapphire wafers, so incoming quality control has become a requirement for LED chip makers as the industry continues to migrate from primarily 2″ ...

In the coming years, the production of silicon wafers is expected to grow thanks to increased demand for semiconductors. This is especially true in the industries of consumer electronics and ...

The use of on-wafer superconducting materials, other novel materials, and traditional semiconductors at cryogenic temperatures (below about 123K, or -150°C) has grown quickly in recent years.

A new instrument under development at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) uses infrared laser light to precisely measure the thickness of 300 millimeter silicon wafers. NIST ...

Cheaper, larger and better infrared detectors grown on silicon wafers could give more scientists access to infrared astronomy and further spur the hunt for exoplanets and the study of the universe’s ...
